Horsch Focus TD
SEED DRILLS STRIP-TILL TECHNOLOGY
The Focus TD stands for the consistent further development of the “StripTill approach”. Features like targeted loosening below the later row combined with a concentrated fertiliser placement have been implemented with well-proven components and have been combined with the well-known Pronto sowing technology.
What are the excelling features of the Focus TD?
- TerraGrip tines pre-loosen the soil in a targeted way and remove harvest residues from the seed and root area
- A fertiliser deposit is placed (if required in different depths)
- Moist soil is transported to the germination horizon
- Angled discs work between the seed rows and create ridges or level the soil according to the requirements
- The tyre packer consolidates the soil in front of the seed coulters
- Sowing is carried out by the strong and precise TurboDisc seed coulters into moist soil that is free of harvest residues
- Row spacings of 30 cm for rape seed and row crops and of 15 cm for crop sowing are possible
- The optional 3-point linkage of the Focus 6 TD allows for a quicker and easier changing from the TurboDisc seed bar to a Maestro RV seed unit. Thus, a deep placement of fertiliser is now also possible for maize and other single grain seeds with row spacings of 45 – 75 cm.
- Enormous efficiency due to optional MiniDrill G & F for sowing rape
